My BAHA DAY

[ombrerose4]

Today I had my BAHA surgery with the wonderful Dr. Choe. I chose to have conscious sedation, so I was up most of the time (although I did hear myself snore once or twice), mostly just that woozy feeling. One or 2 injections by the site and the only pain I had was when they put in the IV. The drillling sounded like he was scraping my head, strange noise but absolutely no pain. Came home, ate and slept for a few hours, then celebrated with my 'clapper'. Chocolate will come next So at this point no pain by site, just a frontal headache which I think is due to the hopping with the walker (I fell last week and sprained my ankle badly-no weight bearing) making my head jingle too much. All in all another step on the road to recovery.

Lauren -

sounds like things went great today 

And I can't believe the chocolate lasted this long!!    Won't have survived a week in my house LOL

Once your head is healed a little - about a week or so - try this little trick.  Gently rub your fingertip back and forth across your abutment and you'll actually hear the sound.

Discovered this myself post op and thought it was so cool    Kind of like a very small prelude to your BAHA Gotcha Day!

Best,

Jan
